Head coach of the Azerbaijani national team, Aykhan Abbasov, held a press conference after the game. He highly appreciated the fight put up by the team in the match against France.
An employee of Idman.Biz reports from the press conference that the head coach said that they knew the difficulty of the group in advance and emphasized that the players' performance in this game created confidence.
The expert stated that the presence of a strong opponent like France in the group caused a great resonance in society:
"After the draw, France being in our group was often referred to as a "tragedy." There were even those who said, "It's better if we don't go to the game." A lack of confidence was felt."
Abbasov noted that the team gave an important message with this match:
"With this game, they gave confidence to our players. They gave inspiration for the future that it is possible to fight with everyone."
The head coach also reminded that football is developing very rapidly now:
"You see that there are already big scores. If you don't fight on the field, if you are not eager, if you don't play tactically correctly, all of these affect the result."
Abbasov also noted that he expects more confident and eager performances in future matches.
